Microgreen Farmer Shifts To Phosphorus Capture
|
3.8
Joel Weber, owner of Winnipeg-based Fresh Forage, is closing his indoor microgreen farm on Jan. 30 after nearly a decade to focus on scaling Lakewater Nutrient Capture, a containerized phosphorus-capture venture he founded in 2024. Fresh Forage operated about 700 shelves supplying local grocers; Weber aims to deploy filtration systems to reduce phosphorus runoff into Lake Winnipeg and address toxic algae blooms.
